Academic Interests
Dr. Gladd’s interests lie in biblical theology, the use of the Old Testament in the New, and biblical exegesis. RTS believes that the Bible is God’s Word, he wants to instill in his students the desire to interpret Scripture seriously. He is passionate about teaching students how to engage the Bible in its original languages, by learning how to analyze syntax, perform word studies, recognize the logical flow of the passage, and determine how the Old Testament is used in the New Testament.

Personal InterestsHe hails from the eastern shore of Maryland, and his wife, Nikki, from Grand Rapids, Michigan. They are proud parents of a precocious four-year old, Judah and recent addition, Simon.

He enjoys playing sports and catching any football or basketball game, using spare time to do woodworking and all sorts of DIY projects around the house. His wife, Nikki, runs a popular blog (seededatthetable.com), where she writes about family, food, and faith.
